Microsoft Word is a popular program to use when printing single envelopes as well as large mailings. Word allows you to create an individual envelope for each of your recipients, and you can print customizable envelopes to suit the needs of your business. Envelopes vary in size, but Word has a built-in feature that adapts the document and printer to accommodate each envelope you wish to print. Printing one or many 6x9 envelopes is a breeze once you know how to do it.
